How did I make these Day of the Week Closet Dividers?

Here is what the before picture looked like. They were made by Assorted Novelty Spring Wall Sign by Ashland® and I found them in the clearance section at Michaels.

I repurposed these items to make these clothing signs to help me get organized. They are cute the way they are but I wanted to make them more useful. Follow along and check out the easy steps.

Step 1: Using a tape measure (Affiliate Link), measure the inside of the predesigned square labels (Affiliate Link). These measured 2 ¼ x 3 inches and cut 7 - black and white vinyl sheet rectangular shapes.

Step 2: Remove the back of the vinyl sheets and adhere them to each of the insides to cover the previously printed "Berries" sign. This step will cover the center completely to create a brand new look.

Add the Rectangular vinyl pattern to cover the wording

Step 3: Cut out the Monday through Sunday labels (Affiliate Link) from the Cricut machine (Affiliate Link). I used black vinyl.

I used Copper Black font, which you can find on most Windows computers (Affiliate Link). The letters worked better because they were fatter and easier to read on the black and white pattern background. Feel free to check it out here if you want to make it on your Cricut machine (Affiliate Link).

Step 4: Weed the excess paper and, using the transfer tape. Press down to lift up the days of the week words. One by one, add one word to each spring sign. I made sure to center it on them.

Press firmly and remove the transfer tape.
